Analysis Of The Avant-Garde Cinema

In Gerima’s “Triangular Cinema, Breaking Toys, and Dinknesh vs. Lucy,” he does not only look at how the mainstream films have been developed, but also delves into the issues regarding critical thinking. There may be films that allow for a thoughtful thinking, but Gerinma states that even plain criticism or praise is definitely not enough to transform the way one looks at movies. In order to achieve progress, he stressed the need of and connection to the community, filmmakers, and activists to create at least some kind of phenomenon. This does take an idea of the Third Cinema, as it primarily is impacted by society and the need for change. Also, it is a process that has to be repeated, despite possible setbacks.

If the director of the movie examined more the idea of MOOC of at least offered more information about it instead of the UnCollege thing, which can be a bit disappointing for a young adult who wants to have a better future. Watching that made me think that college can be considered a bit overrated. I think that college has been sold as the key to the future, but it’s more of a key that comes with extra “costs”, such as student loans that are outrageously high. One of the reasons for this is competition between the prestigious universities out there. Because they want to offer more programs, there is the need of more facilities, more students, etc.

Therefore, documentary films can be biased. It is hard to believe a film that is purposely changed to show someone’s point of view. It all falls in the hands of the director and producers so if they have a certain stand they most likely will reflect that in the

Even though there has been a substantial progress in establishing racial democracy and social tolerance towards cultural diversity, race still remains a debatable topic to discuss in the United States today. Therefore, the depiction of race through cinematic lens can be a quite challenging process as well as a complex task for a film director. Spike Lee, a successful independent filmmaker has managed throughout his career to address the difficult sociopolitical issue of race in the American screen, by exposing the audience to the harsh social reality. In the contemporary post-racial American society, race has rather become a “fashionable” topic to discuss on TV media and film “as a more genuine proof” (Dirks and Mueller 124) that society has progressed.

Language was also another element that Miller had to adjust from both projects. If you look in the text, the language used is far more relevant to that of the time period. The screenplay however, uses a similar form of this historical speech. Though, the text was written in the language patterns of the late 1700’s, when compared to the more modern Americanized version is lessened by Miller who states, “The Problem was not to imitate the archaic speech but to try to create a new echo of it which would flow freely off American actor’s tongues,” an important field to maintain when writing dialogue for

I knew what I wanted to be the main points of my paper but I didn’t know how to exactly use ethos, pathos, and logos when it was a film I was analyzing instead of a text. Proofreading is still one of the things that I struggle most with in any paper. While writing my rough draft, I tend to get ahead of myself and just go on to tangents. When I proofread my own work I may not catch on to all the little grammar errors.

History will always be open to interpretation & minor changes when it comes to filmmaking, whether the film is written based on facts or built on fiction. There are many things a director could do when it comes to making a film based on historical events. Sometimes, a director could choose to represent a few events inaccurately in exchange for more impactful and dramatic, but inaccurate scenes. In the film industry, most directors are looking to appeal to as wide an audience as possible. Not all people might find that learning about history interests them.

Moore’s films cannot just be tied down to one or even two modes of documentary film, as described by Bill Nichols. According to Matthew Bernstein, Moore pulls from mainly the expository and the interactive modes of documentary in his film Roger & Me (6), through an attempt to “escape documentary film entirely” – something that Bernstein does not believe he is able to achieve (15). Moore seemingly pulls from

Hearing the various different questions, and having to make a few questions myself, that connected the readings to the film helped me see more connections that weren’t initially there after only having watched the film. Having Connell’s definition of hegemonic masculinity helped me place the hegemonic characteristics the film describes but does not define, into the discussion in order to better focus on more specific theory rather than simply on broader ideas presented in the movie. This more defined definition helped me place the issues described in the film into theory that explains how these issues come about, and how we can better

When I was asked to write about an instance of intercultural communication in a movie, Arrival was not the first thing that came to mind. However, once I had thought about it, I could not get it out of my head, and I knew I had to write about it. The reason behind my determination was that though the parties involved in the conflict are unusual—humans versus extraterrestrial beings—, Arrival still addresses very important issues that could arise during any intercultural communication. This paper will look at the reasons behind this conflict, namely our fear of the unknown, and our tendency to rely on stereotypes and to reflect our negative traits onto the other side. While doing so, it will also briefly touch upon the communicational issues within the human community, caused by the different frameworks through which they look

Therefore, the non-linear line here may in fact be more true than the “truth.” a war story should not be told neatly because it probably didnt fashion out that way. Getting the raw thoughts and emotions in that sense is giving you a more inside view to the character and his

Which include, camera shots, framing actor 's, perspective, setting of the movie and the tone. Overall, the message Spielberg was transmitting through the devices and techniques in Minority Report is the future has a large possibility of having an inconsiderate amount of privacy. He expresses that people should be concerned about the amount of privacy that’s going to be available in the

In conclusion, the aspects of immaturity and superficial quality’s portrayed at the

Unlike Piotr Szczypa 's article which encounters the specific approaches within the film to achieve certain impact on the audience; Christoph Classen weighs more on discussing the truths in Schindler 's List and researches for the explanations behind the scenes. In this article, the author spends wide coverage to argue the reasons why Schindler 's List cannot be fully considered as presenting the historical truth, even though Spielberg had tried his utter best to restore the environments and only reflect the evidence he got. In order to answer that problem, the article takes further steps into examine the “aesthetic, political, cognitive” dimensions of displaying a historical event which are inspiring for me to understand more about the existence of conflicts between the contemporary political parties to face the Nazi and holocaust issue. Additionally, though Spielberg deliberately wanted this film to be based on the facts, the article addresses the how people 's memories might have different interpretations in the film, which is another possibility of misrepresenting the fact. I think the comparisons and the thinking, as the article addresses in the title, about how historical truth can be involved in history, memory and culture can provide various aspects to rethink about this film because they view the film as a demonstration of a cultural phenomenon within the society.

Advances in technology, psychology and neurology mean that advertising is more subtle, insidious and powerful than ever. That’s why in recent years there has been a call from the public to enforce stricter regulations on advertising. Currently advertising is regulated voluntarily, not statutorily, and this has to change. There are various techniques employed by advertising agencies that are not exactly beneficial to the societal good. Matter of fact, they are down right immoral.
